Starting Friday the Utah Youth Soccer Association will be utilizing the Mesquite Sports and Events Complex (MSEC), 1635 Bertha Howe Avenue, for its Olympic Development Program (ODP) until Sunday.

The ODP was formed in 1977 to showcase select players in each age group who would form a team for competition. The ODP philosophy is to provide high-level training to benefit and enhance the development of player and develop a mechanism for the exchange of ideas and curriculum to improve coaching levels, according to the association's website.
